How long does it take for a washing machine to spin?

Washing machine manufacturers develop various wash, rinse, and spin programs. These programs enhance the machine's efficiency to ensure consumers are satisfied with the washing results. There are numerous such programs, each with significant differences, including spin duration. Spin duration varies depending on the washing machine model and the selected mode. Let's look at a few illustrative examples.

Spin time on an LG washing machine

Modern LG washing machines have similar operating principles. Owners of this brand can independently determine the amount of time their machine spends on the spin cycle. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Turn on the device.
2. Use the button or selector to select the "Spin" function. The default speed is 1000 rpm. The display shows the spin time: 15 minutes.

Important! If you set the spin program to 1000 RPM and load wet laundry into the drum, it will spin for 15 minutes. At maximum speed, the machine will spin for about 7 minutes, as it takes time for the drum to spin up and stop.

3. If you select a spin speed of 800 rpm on the control panel, the display will show 10 minutes. This is the total duration of this mode.
4. When selecting a speed of 400 rpm, the LG washing machine spins for 7 minutes.

In some cases, you may need to use the "No Spin" mode. This simply drains the water from the drum, which takes about one minute.

How long does the spin cycle last on an Indesit washing machine?

Sometimes housewives prefer to soak and wash clothes by hand. But since wringing laundry by hand is time-consuming and ineffective, they resort to using a washing machine for the final cleaning step. Machine spinning dries laundry much faster.

The duration of Indesit washing machines in spin mode depends on several parameters: the washing class and the power at which the drum rotates. The standard speed settings available on most models are 400, 600, 800 and 1000 rpm.

Please note! Spinning at 1000 rpm takes the longest.

In Indesit appliances, the spin time may vary:

• at 1000 rpm it is equal to 15 minutes;
• at 800 rpm – 12 minutes;
• at 600 rpm – 10 minutes.

The final wash cycle duration for this brand's models is virtually identical to similar parameters for other manufacturers' machines. However, some Indesit washing machines offer spin speeds of 900, 1200, 1600, and 1800 rpm. If you spin the laundry at a speed of 1000 rpm or more, you can take it out of the drum almost dry.

Variability of spin time

The spinning process can take varying amounts of time depending on how full the drum is. It goes through several stages. Initially, the drum spins without reaching its maximum speed. This phase provides a pre-spin. Water flows into a pressure gauge, which maintains the desired wash cycle. Excess moisture is removed from the items in the drum.

The next stage increases the spin speed. The load decreases due to the decrease in moisture content. Water stops flowing into the pressure gauge. Full power mode is activated. The spin cycle lasts between 2 and 5 minutes, depending on the drum load. The larger the load and weight of the laundry, the longer the spin cycle.
